Fennel
Considered primarily indigenous to the Mediterranean shores, fennel has
been closely associated with ancient cultures and followed the spread of
civilization. Fennel is mentioned in Greek legends, poetry, and other
ancient writings, and praised for its medicinal value in many aspects of
health and longevity. Today, fennel is used primarily for digestive
concerns and gastrointestinal afflictions. Some scientific research has
demonstrated that colicky babies can benefit from supplementation of
fennel. Fennel has shown to be effective for conditions of the upper
respiratory tract as well.
